Large Bore pistons for sale?

Im looking for just one, used piston. I would prefer one with a bore of around 12 inches, conecting rod included. The reason i am looking for one, is I like to fabricate metal and design things, i recently got the idea to take an old piston from a genorator or somthing of the sort and make a desk lamp out of it. My idea is to lay the piston so that the bottom is in contact with the connecting rod, tac weld it, then weld the base of the connecting rod to a small sheet of diamond plate or somthing of the sort. Then simply wire a socket to the underside and add a switch.

If anyone knows where i could find a used piston and matching connecting rod of considerable size for a reasonable price, please let me know. thank you
